Arrogant Bastard Ale!

My husband found this beer and has been enjoying it frequently! He poured me up a glass and asked the question we all know that was coming “What do you think?” The name just begs for a few comments especially when your husband is asking them! However, I have to say this is a very nice, yes, nice beer in terms of drinking! Make sure to read the back of the bottle too! Even though it says it’s an ale it reminded me more on the lines of a stout with sweet under tones characteristic of a stout. Arrogant Bastard Ale by the Stone Brewing Company (Escondido, San Diego County, CA) is higher in alcohol content at 7.2% by volume and well worth trying and/or bringing to a dinner party – the conversation is sure to flow! Pick up a bottle or two for sipping pleasure or give as a gift to your favorite boss – if they have a sense of humor!

Welcome to the world of craft beer! Arrogant Bastard Ale is, as it says, an ale. Note also that stouts are simply another style of ale (that is, a stout is a type of ale). Stouts have roasty flavors. Perhaps treat yourself with a beer tasting and include a stout and the Arrogant Bastard and you’ll see the difference is as wide as a pinot and a chardonnay.
